You can't influence anyone by trying to be like everyone

Thursday, March 8, 2018

Ever found yourself having a creative block that lasts way too long, and nothing seems to get you out of it? Creative ruts sucks. We all agree, don’t we? Especially when you define yourself as an influencer and you’re supposed to be inspiring and motivational at all times. My best advice is to get off social media and have a chat with yourself in front of the mirror. Who are you? Are you happy with the person who’s facing you? Maybe you’re pushing yourself way too hard, trying to fit in, trying to be like all of these glamorous and successful girls on Instagram with millions and millions of followers?

Here’s something I want you to know: It’s okay to just be you. If anything, I recommend it. How can you expect to influence anyone by trying to be like everyone?

Don’t always wear what everyone else is wearing. Don’t shop where it’s popular to shop. Don’t play it cool just because it’s likeable.

Explore the little independent shops (on and off-line) and get some awesome pieces that very few people have. Put them together in unique combinations and be your own inspiration on a daily basis.

At the end of the day, your creativity is what makes you stand out. Don’t lose it by following the crowd.

The dress I’m wearing is a great example for an undiscovered (for now) shop called Marigold Shadows, with incredible garments that will make you feel as special and noteworthy as they will make you look. A few months ago, I came across their account on Instagram and was absolutely blown away by their aesthetic. Of course, I had to get my hands on some of their pieces to see if the quality is as good as what the images were showing.

The answer was YES, but I’m sure you could all guess it by looking at the photos of me rocking it at Covent Garden market, climbing out of my creative rut by embracing it.
